Frank Larkin, the base-ball player, recently attached to the Baltimore team, was before Judge Nacher in New York Friday, charged with having recently shot at his wife and attempted suicide. Larkin, who was in Court, was a physical wreck, and as he sat on the prisoners' bench gazed steadfastly at his wife, but did not speak to her. Larkin had been married to his wife but seven months, but during that time she had been a most faithful and devoted helpmeet. The policeman who arrested Larkin after the shooting was the complainant, and he made three charges based on information and belief against the prisoner. The first was for attempting to shoot him, the second for attempted suicide, and the third for felonious assault on the wife. Larkin asked to be examined on the charges separately, but Justice Nacher refused the request. Mrs. Larkin refused to make a statement, and Frank was held to await an indictment by the Grand Jury.
